With the vibrant indie music scene in Australia and New Zealand constantly outshining much of the output from their British and American cousins, Little Indie picks our weekly bunch of some of the best new tracks on offer.

Canberra indie-folk singer-songwriter draws on influences such as Angie McMahon, Middle Kids, and Dermot Kennedy, for this spine-tingling follow up to debut single 'Waste'. Catch live at the Transit Bar, Canberra on October 10.
BLUE VELVET - IT'S ALL GRAVY
Sydney-based indie-punk trio follow up on March's 'Soggy Cereal' with jaunty, light-hearted sequel. "'It’s All Gravy' is a reflection of my weird, morbid curiosity around conspiracy theorists and alien hunters who live inside their own bubble," says frontman Samuel Bauermeister. "I’ve always been fascinated about what goes on in their heads and wanted to try and live vicariously through them. It’s a song about living inside your own thoughts and filtering out all the other noise around you and being so adamant you’ve been right all along."
QUINN - COAST
Taken from her forthcoming debut EP, the latest single from Illawarra artist Ness Quinn is an electronic indie pop anthem for those who feel like they constantly fly under the radar. “You never see me rise you never see me fall, I just coast”, she sings. "'Coast' was written about getting to a point in your life where you feel like everyone is overtaking you."
AUTOSUGGEST - IN TRUTH
The music project of Sydney’s Alec Mallia - who we featured back in February with 'Graphic' - follows debut album 'Tame Harm' with this new, self-produced three and a half minute single. Combining dark, electronic layers with a post-punk edge, Mallia's vocal adds a satisfying magical touch. Catch live at The Chippo, Sydney on October 11.
SPORTS DREAMS - DRIVE

We first heard the Wellington-via-Palmerston North, NZ electronic duo, Shannen Petersen and Fraser Williams (of Fruit Juice Parade and First Move), a few weeks ago with their titular single, now they unveil this second track from their incoming self-titled EP, out October 18 via Papaiti Records. Lightly dream-pop tinged, with Petersen’s vocals soaring over atmospheric guitar and synth. Catch live on October 4 at San Fran, Wellington.
BEN WOODS - GOOD 2 BE SLEEPING
The Christchurch, NZ singer-songwriter - last heard back in April with 'Romancy' - is gearing up for the release of debut album 'PUT', out on and cassette via Melted Ice Cream on October 16, with this woozy new cut, along with a video directed by Martin Sagadin. Catch live on October 24 at San Fran, Wellington.
